Mountainside 4WD High-Clearance Dispersed Campsites

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

High above Como Road in Rio Grande National Forest, this free dispersed area sits on a hillside that draws enough visitors to fill the slope with campers on busy days. Access is the defining factor here. The road involves large rocks and rough conditions that rule out most standard vehicles, making it well-suited to high-clearance 4WD rigs; vans and low-clearance vehicles will likely stop short. Campfires and pets are permitted. Those planning a trip can also browse campgrounds around Blanca as a staging point for the area.

Tree sheltered sites along

I walked up the road about three miles on the way to the lake because the beginning of the road was way to rough for my van with large rocks about 6 inch diameter.  There were lots of people disperse camping on the hilside above Como Road.
